Setting the Parameters for Function Waveforms. The following parameters can be set for each type of function waveform designated with the Type command. Note, however, that only Amplitude and Offset can be set for a Noise waveform, while only Offset can be set for a DC waveform.
Cycle | 0.1 to 100,000 (in 0.1 increments) |
Frequency | 2 Hz to f / 5 (f = Clock frequency set with Setting menu |

Amplitude | ±2.0005 (if set to a negative number, the wave form will |

Offset | ±1.0000 to +1.0005 |
Procedure 1: Creating a Sine Wave. In this example, you will replace the data between the vertical bar cursors with a sine wave. The procedure begins at the initial menu level.
1.Select New Waveform from the side menu in the initial menu.
2.Select Standard Waveform from the bottom menu.
3.Check to make sure that the left and right vertical bar cursors are all the way to the left and right, respectively, to encompass the entire editing area. If they are not, use the general purpose knob to set them in this manner.
4.Press the Type button in the side menu and select Sine.
5.Select Cycle from the side menu. Use the numeric keys or the general purpose knob to set the number of cycles for the sine wave to 2.
6.Select Amplitude from the side menu. Use the numeric keys or the general purpose knob to set the
7.Select Execute from the side menu.
When Execute is selected, the sine waveform is created between the vertical bar cursors with the set parameters. See Figure 3
